Should Christians Do Yoga? The Spiritual Danger You Must Know
🚨 Should Christians Participate in Yoga?
Short Answer: No.
Yoga is not just stretching. It is an ancient spiritual practice rooted in Hindu worship. Even when disguised as exercise, yoga carries spiritual implications that can open demonic doors—especially for Christians.
🔍 Where Did Yoga Originate?
Yoga originated in India, within Hindu culture over 5,000 years ago. It was never designed as mere physical exercise but as a spiritual path to unite the individual self (atman) with the universal consciousness (Brahman). This goal is achieved through postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation—all of which are acts of Hindu worship.
The founders of yoga were Hindu sages deeply immersed in pagan idolatry, aiming for enlightenment and union with false deities like Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. These are not the God of the Bible.
Isaiah 42:8 – “I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”
⚠️ Why Is Yoga Spiritually Dangerous?
Christianity commands meditation on the Word of God, not emptying the mind. The Bible never teaches us to blank out or silence our thoughts to connect with a “universal soul.” That form of meditation—central to yoga—invites demonic access.
Psalm 119:15 – “I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.”
Psalm 104:34 – “My meditation of Him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.”
Bob Larson, a well-known deliverance minister, warns:
“Those who meditate in yoga should not be deceived into thinking they have communed with the Lord. They have left their minds open to an evil invasion by the spirit associated with the particular discipline employed.”
🧘♀️ But What If It’s Just for Exercise?
Even when stripped of Sanskrit names or chants, the poses themselves are acts of worship. For example, the “Sun Salutation” is a spiritual gesture of honoring the Hindu sun god Surya.
You cannot separate the physical from the spiritual in yoga. Just as partaking in pagan rituals opens spiritual doors, doing yoga—even unknowingly—violates spiritual boundaries.
1 Corinthians 10:20-21 – “But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God… ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.”
👿 Demonic Manifestation Through Yoga
When Christians practice yoga or receive instruction from someone involved in it, they open demonic portals—consciously or not. Demons do not care whether you are aware. Ignorance does not protect you from legal spiritual rights.
Some manifestations after participating in yoga include:
-
Sudden anxiety or depression
-
New Age beliefs creeping in
-
Confusion during Bible reading
-
Headaches during prayer
-
Sleep paralysis or tormenting dreams
-
Difficulty worshiping Jesus
-
Emotional coldness or rebellion
Generational ties can also lead to bondage. If your ancestors were involved in yoga, Hinduism, or New Age practices, you could be experiencing inherited demonic oppression.
Exodus 20:5 – “…visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
🕊️ What Should Christians Do Instead?
Christians are called to worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24). Rather than yoga, embrace biblical meditation, prayer, and worship that invite the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Philippians 4:8 – “Whatsoever things are true… honest… just… pure… think on these things.”
If you have done yoga, knowingly or unknowingly, repent and renounce it in the name of Jesus Christ. Break every spiritual tie and close every door opened to the demonic realm.
✝️ Freedom Prayer:
“Father God, I repent for participating in or coming into agreement with yoga. I renounce every connection to Hindu gods, practices, and teachings. I break every demonic tie and command every unclean spirit associated with yoga to leave me now in the name of Jesus. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and renew my mind. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
